Miss Hall began her duties as principal the year that the present Senior class entered as the Freshmen class.
To the Freshmen she looms up formidably as she leads him to a seat directly in front of the assembly room desk. To the wise Sophomore she is a monitor noting down misdeeds; to the Junior, always prepared for emergencies she seems the all-wise counsellor in matters of elections and reception committees. To the Senior about to leave the halls of learning she is the personified goddess of mercy and graciousness. To us all she is a friend and advisor.
Her work in Newton High has been very successful and with the help of the students who fill the ranks left vacant each year at commencement, her work will be increasingly successful and the ideals of Newton High raised to the most level.
